Things to Do with Dad on Father’s Day

18 June 2015

Take a hike at MacRitchie Reservoir

In case you haven’t heard, Sunday is Father’s Day. While there are plenty of restaurants where you can take you special guy for brunch, lunch, drinks, dinner or all of the above, we’ve got some other last minute ideas for you to do with Dad.

Take him to the driving range!

Even if he’s no Tiger Woods, hitting balls at the golfing range is a low stress activity for the sporty dad (unlike the frustration he might feel after 18 holes). Relatively inexpensive and with various locations around Singapore, this is a great way to celebrate Dad.

Take Him Kayaking

Even for those of us who are less athletically inclined, Kayaking requires surprisingly little skill. Regardless of your experience, you can rent kayaks and easy spend an afternoon leisurely viewing the Singapore skyline by boat. Canoes also available!

Take Him to Play laser tag and/or paintball

Maybe better to book with some of his mates, so he can really get invested in the hunt. Laser tag and paintball can get pretty intense (or so I’ve heard), so maybe best to let the little ones stay home for this while dad and the bigger kids have some serious fun.

Take a hike!

Just because we live on the small, urban red dot, does not mean Singapore is lacking in beautiful and lush nature trails. After all, our red dot is also a garden city. Spend the day outdoors and admiring nature at any one of these stand out hiking trails.

The national parks website does a fantastic job describing what each trail offers and how to get there. See for details.

Or, if he’s more the indoorsy type, you can’t go wrong taking him to a sports bar.
